3-watt LED 7440's for Reverse/Backup Lights
 
Has anybody swapped out their reverse bulbs for the 3-watt 7440's at superbrightleds.com? If so, did the LED's put out more light than the stock bulbs? I'd like to improve the brightness of the reverse lights but the 7440 format is kinda limited in terms of brighter, drop-in options.

I have some 7443 replacement LEDs on their way for brake/tail lights. They's 11 1W LEDs per bulb, from my estimation, the newer 1 Watt LEDs are brighter than traditional LEDs, output about 40 lumens per watt. So a 3 watt in my estimate would output 120 lumens. Regular incandescent 25w bulbs output about 400-500 lumens, so they may not be enough. There's still a chance if they're very narrow beamed and concentrated though. I'll post results once I get mine.
